Digital BW, The Print

Jerry,

Not a silly question at all. The coatings used on the inkjet papers is one
area where it seems we have little knowledge. For the different companies I
imagine the specific formulas and application techniques they use are
closely guarded secrets just as the silver emulsions are.

To a certain extent the Dmax seems to be related to just how much ink you
can pour onto a paper before it just puddles and dries with a blotchy look.
I would guess that there is a balance between maximum ink per area, without
bleeding that is properly bonded to the coating and paper. I wonder how much
is mechanical and how much is chemical. I suspect the chemical side plays a
role in fading and warming.

I seem to recall that Eclipse was originally marketed as having "multiple
receiver layers" or something like that. Sounded like there were trying
multiple coatings on the paper.

Maybe one of the paper company representatives can give us some info.
